10 Behaviors that Block Happiness
Spring is the time for new beginnings and that means Spring Cleaning to let go of what is not serving you. We all seek that elusive quality of “happiness.” Here are some things you can place your awareness on and clean out of your life so you can be happier.
Impressing. What you have —your possessions, your accomplishments—don’t result in real relationship or lasting happiness.
Blaming. Your response to any situation is your choice. Try making it a learning opportunity—taking responsibility is empowering.
Controlling. It doesn’t help you feel good about yourself. Honor your boundaries, but make space for others’ needs and choices, too.
Criticizing. We are all unique and different, not better or worse. Appreciate the differences instead of zeroing in on shortcomings.
Whining. Complaining is ineffective, whereas asking for what you want is liberating.
Clinging to what is known. When you’re feeling afraid or insecure, be willing to let go of the familiar, take a risk and try something new.
Being Ungrateful. Stay aware of all the gifts and blessings that you do have. Express gratitude and happiness will follow.
Preaching. Another form of judging. Find more fun and empowering ways to share your knowledge.
Negative Self-talk. Train yourself to notice your mind’s chatter. Working towards changing negative thoughts to positive ones will transform your life.
Fear. Don’t let fear get in the way of progress. Whatever you’ve been dreaming, get going on it. “Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

Take a big, deep, beautiful breath: the holidays will be here before you know it. For many of us, this time of year brings with it the joys—and challenges—of family gatherings, gift exchanges, and holiday festivities. The good news is that with a little planning and thoughtfulness, you can navigate the holidays with grace.Take this self-quiz to see how ready you are for this year’s holiday season.
True or False?
1. I start planning for the holidays early so that I’m not on overdrive throughout December.
2. When my family is making plans, I make a point of negotiating what I really want to do and where I’d like to spend each holiday.
3. If my family exchanges gifts, I joyfully give what I can afford and enjoy giving. I stick to my budget.
4. I make sure that I eat healthy food that I enjoy every day. This may require me to take care of my own meals or contribute to meal planning and preparation.
5. When I accept a party invitation or a request for my time, it’s because I genuinely want to—and have the energy to participate wholeheartedly. I know how to say “no” to invitations I don’t want to accept. I don’t beat myself up about it or let myself get “roped in.”
6. I recognize the need for downtime and breaks, so I don’t fill my schedule to the brim with events, shopping and other holiday preparations.
7. I value my important relationships and give them the time and energy they need and deserve. If this means that I go to fewer gatherings outside of my immediate circle, so be it.
8. I don’t dwell on the changes in my family that make me unhappy or sad. I accept the way things are now, and enjoy the loved ones around me.
9. In the lead-up to the holidays and during the holidays themselves, I do something that I find fun or pleasurable every day.
10. The holidays are a time to appreciate loved ones and express my spirituality. I make a point of noticing what’s good in my life, and feel gratitude for those things.
If you answered false to more than four of these, you may want to consider ways to make this holiday season more enjoyable and less stressful.
